The Evolving Doughnut

Bern, Switzerland

The future is not something that just happens - it is something we create. With the vision of a fossil-free economy that thrives within planetary and social boundaries, I invest my energy not only in the pragmatic empowerment of organisations, but also in that of my fellow human beings. Because I am deeply convinced that we need new narratives and must take everyone with us on the path to a safer and fairer future. What drives me? An insatiable interest in scientifically sound facts and future-oriented topics. I am passionate about absorbing new knowledge and constantly expanding my horizons - and sharing this knowledge with others. My motto: empowering people to be lifelong learners. Because learning should never stop! I look forward to inspiring discussions and setting off together towards a better future! Let's connect!

I am an organisational  inclusion strategist, working to support leadership with and behavioural change at individual, team, and systems levels. I do that with my own consultancy Unheard Voice. I use ( ) as a foundation for this work. This is an academically robust approach to inclusive behaviours- if you're high in CQ you behave inclusively. It can be a missing link taking some of the guesswork out of the culture and values questions in the DE model. Before working full-time in inclusion, I did it part-time, within my Consultancy.  My career for 30 years before this was working in broadcast journalism as a journalist and leader. My mission is giving the unheard voice a place to speak.

After 20 years as a senior programme manager at PwC, most recently leading PwC's Social Value Transformation, and in the context of a Climate and Nature Crisis that is unfurling right now, I want to help build a regenerative world. A world where human connection and experiences are valued more than consumption and materialism, and where our species can live in a regenerative way with nature and the environment. I see Donut Economics as a fundamental part of how we do this as a species.

From consumerism mercenary to change catalyst. After a decade building marketing strategies that maximized profits, I had an uncomfortable but necessary revelation: my skills were serving the wrong system. My transformation began when I saw myself for what I really was: a "consumerism mercenary." But I also discovered something powerful; the same tools I used to drive consumption could become amplifiers of systemic solutions. Why this transition mattersMillions of professionals are experiencing the same "awakening" I went through. We need bridges between the commercial world and social sector—translators who help scale innovations that truly matter. My north star: That my work generates community autonomy, not product dependency. What I bring to the social innovation ecosystem• Applied systems thinking: Translating complex ideas into narratives that mobilize communities  • Regenerative strategic sommunication: 12+ years helping organizations articulate their transformative purpose •  Collaborative leadership: Developing team autonomy, not hierarchical dependency   • Transition facilitation: Expert at navigating undefined spaces and innovating without clear roadmaps.  Does this transition resonate with you? Would you lead social innovation projects together?  📧 Let's connect: t.link/rodrigoponton [Communication + Strategy + Systems thinking]
